DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation generates up to three additional frames per traditionally rendered frame, working in unison with the complete suite of DLSS technologies to multiply frame rates by up to 8X over traditional brute-force rendering. This massive performance improvement on GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards and laptops enables you to max out visuals at the highest resolutions, and play at incredible frame rates.

GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards and DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation launched at the end of January, with support available in 75 games and apps. Less than 8 months later, the number of supported titles has grown to over 175.

Each DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation game also includes support for DLSS Frame Generation, accelerating frame rates on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, as well as support for DLSS Super Resolution, boosting performance for every GeForce RTX owner. And in many games, our latest DLSS Super Resolution transformer AI model can be activated via NVIDIA app, instantly enhancing image quality, making your experience even better.

Starting today, as part of our Borderlands 4 GeForce RTX 50 Series Bundle, you’ll receive a copy of the game and the Gilded Glory Pack with the purchase of qualifying GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, or 5070 desktops or graphics cards, or laptops with a GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, or 5070 Laptop GPUs at participating retailers and etailers*.

With a GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU, you’ll receive the definitive Borderlands 4 experience. DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation will multiply frame rates, and DLSS Super Resolution’s AI transformer model will enhance image quality.

And with the included Gilded Glory Pack you can customize your Borderlands 4 look with a new style for each of the four Vault Hunters, weapons, and the ECHO-4 Drone.

For further info about the performance and image quality enhancements delivered by DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and the PC latency optimizations of NVIDIA Reflex, check out our Borderlands 4 RTX: Inside The Game interview with Gearbox.

NVIDIA Blackwell architecture is coming to GeForce NOW in September, bringing NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080-class performance to the cloud, advanced AI enhancements, a new Cinematic Quality Streaming mode, over 2,500 new Install-to-Play titles and more, all without raising membership pricing. 

Following the September launch, GeForce NOW Ultimate members can activate DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation in supported titles, max out ray-traced and path-traced effects, and stream at up to 5K (5120x2880) 120 FPS. Ultimate members will also be able to stream at up to 1080p 360 FPS, with ultra-low latency courtesy of NVIDIA Reflex.

GeForce NOW Ultimate members will also benefit from a new Cinematic-Quality Streaming mode, a suite of enhancements powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, further improving players’ streaming experiences.

GeForce NOW is all about the games, and with this upgrade, premium members can stream an additional 2,500 Steam titles already enabled by publishers for cloud gaming, thanks to a new feature called Install-to-Play.

These games can be downloaded and installed each session using the 100 GB of free cloud storage included with a Premium membership. Members also have the flexibility to upgrade to permanent storage, so their favorite games stay installed and ready to play anytime.

Borderlands 4, Dying Light: The Beast, Hell is Us, The Outer Worlds 2, and many other titles will all launch day-one on GeForce NOW, and can be experienced at their absolute best on a GeForce NOW Ultimate account using the enhancements delivered by the NVIDIA Blackwell upgrade.

GeForce NOW is also changing the way gamers play. NVIDIA, Discord and Epic are partnering to make it easier than ever for friends to play together. Later this year, Discord users can instantly try games, like Fortnite — no downloads, installs, or launchers needed — powered by NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW’s streaming tech. 

A free, limited-time trial of a GeForce NOW Performance membership, will allow players to jump straight into Fortnite by connecting their Epic accounts. This makes it easier for hundreds of millions of Discord users to join friends and explore new games right where gaming conversations are already happening.

GeForce RTX 5080-powered servers will also give the native GeForce NOW app on Steam Deck a performance boost from 60 to 90 FPS. Support for popular peripherals also grows, with native support for many Logitech racing wheels offering the lowest-latency, most responsive driving experiences.

For further information and updates about all of these great new features, check out the GeForce NOW announcements from Gamescom. And stay tuned to the GFN Thursday blog for weekly updates on new games and announcements in the cloud. 

NVIDIA app is the essential companion for users with NVIDIA GPUs in their PCs and laptops. Whether you're a gaming enthusiast or a content creator, NVIDIA app simplifies the process of keeping your PC updated with the latest GeForce Game Ready and NVIDIA Studio Drivers, and enables quick discovery and installation of NVIDIA applications like GeForce NOW, RTX Remix, Project G-Assist, and NVIDIA Broadcast.

Our newest NVIDIA app beta update accompanies a new Game Ready Driver, which is required for several new features. Download the app update by opting into beta and experimental feature Early Access in Settings > About, or grab the non-beta version the following week. And download our new driver from the app’s Drivers tab.

Once the new driver and app update are both installed, you’ll discover that DLSS overrides can now be activated for every compatible game on your system at once with the global toggle, instead of on a per-game basis. Additionally, the status of DLSS overrides can now be seen in-game on the Alt+R statistics overlay, NVIDIA Smooth Motion is now available for GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, a streamlined NVIDIA Surround setup screen has been added, top requested 3D settings have been brought over from the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Project G-Assist is an experimental AI assistant that helps you tune, control, and optimize your gaming PC through simple voice or text commands. Available for download from 9 am PT on August 19th, G-Assist will be available for all GeForce RTX GPUs with 6GB or more of VRAM, including laptops, via the Home page of NVIDIA app.

Our latest version of G-Assist is powered by a more efficient model, using 40% less memory. G-Assist is smarter at picking the right function or plugin for your request, and has also been updated with several performance, stability and UX improvements.

The community has also extended G-Assist’s capabilities via plugins, several of which were recently developed at the G-Assist Plug-In Hackathon. Here’s a sneak peek of what they came up with:

Accessing plugins is now easier than ever via mod.io. Now, you can browse, share, and install plug-ins in seconds from the mod.io plug-in hub, or even install them straight from within G-Assist through the mod.io plugin.

Many classic PC games remain beloved for their unforgettable stories, characters, and gameplay. But as technology advances, their visuals struggle to keep up, making it harder for the original gamers who played them, or new generations, to appreciate their magic.

NVIDIA RTX Remix, a modding platform for RTX AI PCs, was built to change that. By reimagining the graphics of these timeless classics with cutting-edge path tracing, we’re bridging the past and the future, allowing longtime fans to relive their favorite adventures in stunning detail, while introducing a new wave of players to the games that defined an era.

Several months ago, we invited modders to participate in the NVIDIA and ModDB RTX Remix Mod Contest. $50,000 in cash prizes were on offer for modders or teams who developed new mods, or updated existing releases, with the cash split between four categories - three voted for by ModDB and NVIDIA, and one by the community.

Now, we can announce the winners:

• Best Overall RTX Remix Mod: Painkiller RTX Remix, by Binq_Adams, McGillacutty, XDavidXtreme, PseudoPolish
• Best Use Of RTX In A Mod: Painkiller RTX Remix, by Binq_Adams, McGillacutty, XDavidXtreme, PseudoPolish. Plus Runner-Up: Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines - RTX Remaster, by Safemilk
• Most Complete RTX Mod: Painkiller RTX Remix, by Binq_Adams, McGillacutty, XDavidXtreme, PseudoPolish. Plus Runner-Up: I-Ninja Remixed, by g.i.george333
• Community Choice RTX Mod: Call of Duty 2 RTX Remix of Carentan, by tadpole3159

24 mods in total were submitted for consideration. Thanks to all of the modders for their great work; download their RTX Remix mods from ModDB’s contest page, and many more can be grabbed from ModDB’s dedicated RTX Remix page.

For a complete rundown of the contest winners, plus screenshots, and news about a new feature coming soon to RTX Remix, head on over to our full article.
